Philip Steele (1912)
Buck Nome, one of the Northwest Mounted Police, steals the wife of Janette, a French Canadian. Losing the only thing that life held for him. Janette commits suicide. Buck Nome soon tires of the woman and casts her off. Sometime later, Philip Steel, another of the Mounted Police, enters the deserted cabin and finds Janette's bleached skull, and also a note stating why he committed suicide. Steele swears to have a reckoning with Buckeye Nome. At this time a certain Colonel Beecker and his wife are expected at the Hudson Bay Company's house. Steele is commissioned to meet them. He does so and soon falls under the spell of the girl introduced as the colonel's wife, but realizing that she is married he is too honorable to display his admiration for her. Not so Buck Nome. He tries to win the girl and to Steele's horror and surprise, she encourages him. Seeing the expression in Steele's eyes she draws away from Nome and the colonel takes her indoors. Steele forces Nome to return to his cabin with him, where he shows him the skull of Janette. To prevent him from paying attention to the colonel's wife, Steele forces him to desert. Then Steele wraps up the skull and sends it to the girl with a letter telling her of Nome's villainy. Later he learns that the girl received the skull and it had the desired effect, that of thoroughly disgusting her with Nome. But he also learns that she was not the colonel's wife, but his daughter, who assumed her mother's place as a joke. The train that the colonel and his daughter left on is held up and the girl and the money taken by Buck Nome and a band of his men. Steele is sent after them, and with the help of a telegrapher he trails the men. Tired of carrying the half conscious girl, Nome drops her in the road, where she is found by Steele. He opens fire on the bandits, who return his shots. One by one the men with Nome are shot until the leader stands alone. The telegrapher receives a bullet in his shoulder, and Steele and Nome are now alone. Steele receives Nome's bullet in his arm, and Nome opens fire on him again, but before he shoots, the girl picks up the telegrapher's gun and, leveling it at Nome, she shoots. Steele turns in surprise to find that the girl has saved him. She comes to him and binds up his wounded arm and they confess their love.
